    The best approach is to write only few unique articles and submit only to important and established article directories like ezine, buzzle and goarticle.

    From what I've read duplicate content isn't that big of a deal. If you are only posting to a few different directories ... not like hundreds ... but I always feel it is better to alter the articles a little..

    I just can't imagine breaking an article into six different parts and mixing them, and still expecting anything of quality.

    Well if you work on article for the purpose of getting backlinks I would guess that quality is not important. By the way does anyone knows where can I find or is there some list of article submission sites? Thanks.

    Agree! There can't be any quality there. So my choice is to write the article and then submit it to quality directories (5-6).

    Then rewrite the article with the help of some software (i use articleassistant) and submit it to the rest of the directories. Again it's better to use some software (article submitter in my case) when submitting to low-quality directories.

    I disagree -- quality IS always important.

    And, I would recommend finding directories to submit articles to that are related to your business/topic. For us, for example, since we are a hosting company, we try to find hosting directories and sites relating to internet technology, etc. to submit articles to.

    The editors/webmasters of these directories want QUALITY content for their sites so many times they will not publish articles if they don't meet their standards for quality.. people will not generally just give you links via articles for nothing.

    GOOD CONTENT AND WELL WRITTEN ARTICLES ARE KEY. Simply getting links will not be as beneficial if the articles you are writing and submitting are not of quality. Ultimately, you want people to be able to read these articles...

    Can you share the list of these sites? I guess many people here will thank you for publishing it as most of us are in web hosting/ internet technology business.

    I suppose that might be a kind of confidential or paid information at all.
    On the various SEO forums I have seen such list being sold

    I've never seen a list consisting of web hosting niche websites only. There are lots of lists (paid and free) sometimes with 1K of sites there. The problem is that most of the sites in the list are not from web hosting niche. Since we are talking about quality back links which can be obtained from quality web hosting oriented article submission sites I thought it would be a useful share and many forum members would thank for it. Anyhow, it was just a suggestion. I would understand ForrestY if he decides not to share the list.

    On WHT such lists are for free. God bless WHT community!

    The sad thing is that the list is not sorted (I've checked a couple of links randomly) and failed to find working sites there.

    To find directories, just do a google search for "web hosting directories" and then start like that. We obviously start with sites that have a decent PR or are higher on the SERP.

    It's a challenge to find working directories and I don't have a master list by any means .. I am going through the process of individually emailing/submitting to the directories in order to find ones that will accept articles and/or add our company (WebNet Hosting) to their listings.

    Do you do the search every time before submitting the article?

    Not sure exactly what you mean but no ... we did the search then compiled a list of all the directories that came as a result of this search ... then individually looked at them to see if they accept article submissions, etc. Let me know if I didn't answer your question ....

    I have never submitted an article but would like to start. I am trying to understand exactly the best way to do it. If I am reading some of this thread correctly I should rewrite my article that I submit to a article directory. Is that right? I get the duplicate thing and that it could have a negative effect on rankinng but from what I have researched there are a few sites that are good to submit to. So basically I will need to rewrite one article a few times. This seems a little much. Is there any easier way or am I misunderstanding this whole thing to begin with?

    Do not repeat articles as Google do not give you traffic from repeated content.
    Try to rewrite or change every articles you submit specially in important articles directory.

    I'm a bit confused about "duplicate content". When researching some topic, I will find that several different google results will point to different news sites that display the exact same article, word for word. No doubt some of this duplication has to do with syndication via news feed services. At what point does google consider this punishable? And is google smart enough to pick up on the difference between syndication versus abusive content spamming?

    Another point. There are a lot of nasty people out there. What stops them from visiting one of their competitors' sites, and copy/pasting large portions of their site content all over the Internet in article sites, blogs, forums, etc. so that the competitor ends up being penalized?

    The whole duplicate content thing is not as big of a deal as some people make it out to be. Articles are sydicated word for word all over the Internet.

    You would be punished for duplicate content more if you were posting the same article to like hundreds or thousands of sites. Not going to have a big impact if it's on a few different sites.

    However, original content is always better .....

    Thank you guy for very informative and useful reply regarding this article submission issue.

    It depends on the article directory that you submit to. Some of them don't accept duplicate content, and include them in the policy right away. Others don't. The best thing to do is to try to make them as unique as possible, especially if you plan to submit to more than 10 article databases.

    you are talking about content writing or copy writing?

    I don’t think posting duplicate articles will hurt you in any way. I don’t know anyone that writes unique articles for each article directory, it takes a lot of work.

    Ofcourse,you can create new articles each time. But if you keep changing the article for every few submissions , it will help better

    Joe, I think you forget something. The repeating may make you to loose Google robots trust. This is important thing for someone and it's good to them to think about it. It's good to everyone to work constant and with best possible quality, not for quantity. For example you can get "website promotion articles by Vadim Shulman". Later you can read star players way to promote their knowledge. For every SEO specialist is good to increase your skills to show himself to everyone - the people and the G robots. My way is to make few changes to article's text and info before share it. Think about it.
    Cheers.

    As far as I see many webmasters prefer to submit the same article to numerous directories. This method seems to work good.
